Dell laptops consistently rank at the top of reviews and recommendations. You can rely on most of their offerings to be good. But some are better than the others. These are the best Dell laptops, Chromebooks, or tablets you can buy today.

There are a number of reasons to go for a name-brand laptop. You will get a higher resale value when you upgrade. Common issues with the device are addressed on the internet. And you get better after-sales service than what a small brand would do.

Dell’s wide variety of machines also makes it easy to find the right fit for you. Pick any of these, you’ll be a satisfied customer.

The number one recommendation is the Dell XPS 13, which earned the title of the best Windows laptop for the past three years. The latest version packs Intel’s new 8th generation processor, which has proven to be 50 percent faster than the previous generation XPS 13.

Those who want a large screen without sacrificing portability should check out the Dell XPS 15. Even with a 15-inch screen, Dell has kept this laptop sleek and light. And at the same time, it packs stellar hardware.

The XPS 15 also has above average battery life for a large screen notebook, clocking in over 8 hours of usage on a single charge. It tends to heat up a little though, so you might want to get a laptop cooler.

You’ll get a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with 6GB dedicated VRAM. All of that adds up to mean you can play any game thrown at it. Plus, the GTX 1060 makes it ready for virtual reality (VR) gaming too.

The only disappointment here is the screen panel. Dell uses a TN panel instead of IPS; TN is better for fast frame rates, but not good for viewing angles or color accuracy.

There’s a Windows version of the Chromebook 11 as well. But with a couple of differences, apart from the operating system.

There’s a better, newer processor in the form of an Intel Pentium N3710. And it has a 500GB hard disk drive instead of an SSD. And yes, it’s a full-featured version of Windows 10, so no limitations here.

Surprisingly, battery life is quite good, despite it being a Windows laptop with a hard drive. You’ll get about 10 hours on a single charge, or maybe even more.

Dell’s Latitude line of laptops is made for the business professional. The Latitude 7280 and 7380 are similar notebooks, with the main difference being the screen sizes: 12 inches and 13 inches, respectively.

The Latitude 7380 also folds back to full 180 degrees, making it lie back flat on a table. It’s not a particularly useful feature, but hey, it exists.

The business-ready part is important for two things. First, business-ready Dell laptops go through military-grade tests for toughness. They can survive drops and dust storms, and even the odd splash of water.

Second, these laptops come with all the major ports you might want. They even have an Ethernet port, apart from an HDMI output and all the other regular ports you expect.
